Sailing in and out of the bays enjoying all the Able Tasman has to offer. Sharing this time with my husband on our 56th wedding anniversary.

The whole package was amazing. The morning trip on The Shuttle was good, the walk out around the point of the peninsula in the cool of the morning had fantastic views. Back in Anchorage we swam in the beautiful clear water before joining the catamaran. My husband, a keen sailor, was allowed to take the helm! The skipper and crew made the trip fun for everyone. They especially encouraged the younger people to participate. This was one of the best days of our brilliant holiday on The South Island.

Easy booking through Victor, description very accurate. Ran right on time. Big, comfortable catamaran sailboat for the afternoon sail. Number of passengers allowed makes for non-crowded conditions. Friendly crew. It would be very nice if they added a 3 or 5 kayak's on the boat (as a competitor does) so that passengers can take a short kayak during the hour between when the sailboat boat arrives at Anchorage Bay and when it departs an hour later if they don't want to hike or swim.

My wife and I visited New Zealand in 2019 and had booked to do this cruise. Sadly, a broken ankle meant that Karen could not do the tour at that time, so she was very pleased to be able to do it in 2024 The cruise took us into the Abel Tasman national park and dropped us off at Anchorage beach We then did the walk to Pitt Head and Te Puketea beach, where one of our party of 4 swam. After the swim, we walked back to Anchorage beach and had some lunch. Shortly after, the catamaran arrived, and it was comforting to see that the boat offered some shade - that had not been the case in 2019. The skipper, Rik (?), was very entertaining and accommodating, and as there was not much wind, the return to Kaiteriteri beach was under power. Rik offered several of the passengers the chance to take the helm, and we were very pleased to have a go. He also navigated the boat into an area that would not normally be possible, because of the tides. All in all, it was a great day out and we would recommend this to anyone looking for a way to experience the Abel Tasman national park
